Psalm 104: 13-15
He waters the mountains from his upper chambers; the earth is satisfi ed by the fruit of his work. He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for man to cultivate — bringing forth food from the earth: wine that gladdens the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread that sustains his heart.
